No Accounting for Taste

Lately, Ian's bedtime reading has been non-fiction - particularly, a kind of scientific index of odd creatures of all different kinds, land- and sea-based, large and microscopic.  We had this exchange about jellyfish:

Ian:  Dad, jellyfish glow because the things that they eat things that glow.  Isn't that disgusting?

Me [referring to shrimp]: Well, do you know why flamingos are pink?

Ian:  I don't think that's so disgusting.  I don't know why.
